C Program To Implement Merge Sort Algorithm.

Merge sort is based on divide and conquer method. It takes the list to be sorted and divide it in half to create two unsorted lists. The two unsorted lists are then sorted and merged to get a sorted list. The two unsorted lists are sorted by continually calling the merge-sort algorithm; we eventually get a list of size 1 which is sorted. The two lists of size 1 are then merged.

Best case: When the array is already sorted O(nlogn).
Worst case: When the array is sorted in reverse order O(nlogn).
Average case: O(nlogn).

Space Complexity: Extra space is required, because space complexity is O(n) for arrays and O(logn) for linked lists.

Introduction To Algorithms, 3rd Edition

Before there were computers, there were algorithms. But now that there are computers, there are even more algorithms, and algorithms lie at the heart of computing. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. In this book, the authors tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. Algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The book contains 244 figures — many with multiple parts — illustrating how the algorithms work. It also includes careful analysis of the running times of all algorithms. In this third edition, the entire book once again updated including changes cove...
